About Us

The Northern New York Library Network was chartered by the New York State Regents in 1965 to facilitate cooperative services among libraries in northern New York and to improve library services within the region, which consists of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego and St. Lawrence counties.

The Network is governed by a locally elected Board of Trustees, and functions under State law and State Education Department regulations. The Network’s Plan of Service provides a detailed overview of products and services available to member libraries.
